Times are tough right now. The world is struggling with this pandemic, and folks are staying inside to help stop the spread. Pluralsight has just announced that they’re opening up the entire platform for the month of April. They’re making all 7,000 courses and other content completely free for the month, no credit card needed.

We are all in this together. This is a great time to leverage the platform to build up skills.

If you’re curious about what Pluralsight is and how you can use it, here’s how I use Pluralsight:

So if you’re interested in signing up, what can you do on Pluralsight?

See Where You Stand with SkillIQ

Take a Skill path

React Skill Path

Skill paths are an excellent way to go from beginner to expert quickly. They are a gathering of courses specific to a skill or role you’re looking for. For instance the one above is a React path, with over 40 hours of course instruction specific to React, from the very beginning of setting up a website to advanced topics.

Here are some awesome skill paths to try out:

You can view the full list of skill paths here!

Check out a Tech Conference

Online Tech Conferences

With the quarantining happening tech conferences are a no go. Thankfully you don’t have to miss out on some great conference content!

And many more!!

Stay Home. Skill Up.

It’s our responsibility to stay home and stop the spread of this virus. If we’re going to be cooped up in our homes we may as well skill up right? I’m incredibly proud to be a part of a company that cares enough to help out in this time of need. Sadly many companies are forced to layoff people or stop operations altogether. Tech folks in this position can certainly take advantage of these courses to skill up for their next position. Use this to your advantage and sign up now!

If you have any questions about this, or just want to share your story, reach out to me I’d love to hear about it!

  • Your Customers Build the Features Now

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
